The service can function on a routine service of 24hrs with approximately 10% of work "prioritised" and a much smaller % of work "fast-tracked". Community Services require a daily service from Monday-Friday. There are no "internal portering" responsibilities on the service provider other than delivering and collecting from the locations shown above. The scale of the service required is summarised as follows. 1. 380,000 Surgical Trays (and an additional 20,000 circa "power tool" trays). 2. 120,000 specialist handpieces (predominately "dental handpieces"). 3. 270,000 Ward/Clinic type trays. 4. 320,000 Supplementary Items (of which 100,000 are "theatre" supplementary items). The service covers all surgical disciplines including those conducted on high risk tissues and with robotic equipment. The service providers' facilities should be located within Birmingham. The decontamination service should be supported by an internet enabled IT System allowing tracking and tracing throughout the process; external or remote access to the system and a system capable of delivering a suite of service reports. The service must meet national and international standards and will be subject to recognised external audits and inspections and have robust local contingency plans for possible disruptions to the main facilities. The service will be subject to a performance management process. This will cover the key components of the overall service such as staff training and maintenance of equipment and aspects of the production process such as the quality of the products delivered and the turnaround times achieved. The performance process will also monitor other aspects of the production function such as components of the "time from use to wash" and "residual protein detection". The service, whilst predominantly based around steam sterilisation, should also feature alternative methods of sterilisation techniques. Innovation and the capacity to respond to changing environments or the use of 3rd party intermediaries will also be of interest. The service provider will be capable of providing a fully integrated instrument repair process as well as an instrument replacement offering. Additional information: Suppliers wishing to participate in this market engagement exercise and express an interest in this requirement should respond to the questionnaire via the Bravo portal by 13:00 on 30.6.2021.
